THE WAGES OF SIN

While Mark Sanford cried on television about being unfaithful to his wife, another politician a world away also called a news conference to discuss his sex life. Silvio Burlesconi, Italy's President, wanted it to be completely understood that, at 72 years of age, he has never had to pay for sex. He was shocked, I said shocked, when the media suggested that his publicly photographed romps with prostitutes had been a commercial exchange. And he regretted that his 18 year old girl friend had been embarrassed by the charges. His wife ran screaming from the Presidential Palace straight to divorce court.
Jenny Sanford, on the other hand, dragged Mark to a Bible study group, muttering about a reconciliation. Sanford, while he had been in the U.S. Congress, voted for three of the four articles of impeachment of Bill Clinton, citing "moral turpitude." Now, he just cries for Argentina, despite what Andrew Lloyd Weber taught us all about that.
